Who has been Extracting?

[00jacksonp]

My little blighter's are filling these supers and i'm getting itchy feet and want to start extracting.

currently got 4 supers (3 full and 1 is 1/2 full . )
When I extract it will be all at the same time so i need to pick my time envelope carefully.

 

[Arfermo]

Hope it isn't part osr as it might be solid by now!!!!

 

[Davelin]

All done last weekend. 90lbs.

Anything now they can have for winter.

Ivy will be the only substantial flow now if no HB or heather, and ivy honey not very nice.

 

[00jacksonp]

OSR was taken a long time ago now.
all in jars and still not solid which is a surprise.

 

[sahtlinurk]

i love ivy honey... goes specially well with my porridge

I would extract when they have capped one, as they will be spending their time drawing wax out, and not foraging.

 

[Suzi Q]

Extracted mine, my first substantial amount of honey in three years beekeeping!

 

[00jacksonp]

[Luminos]

Leaving mine for now.
Just in case.

200lb off so far,some Manleys for cut comb still on the hive and two supers coming off tonight.
They've found the balsam

 

[WelshPaul]

About a gallon from one super, waiting for the last ones to be capped.

 

[johna]

400 pounds off. My best year for a long time. The late spring seems to have gingered the flowers up with a really good flow here in S.W.Scotland.

 

[enrico]

[galileo]

I've been extracting since May and just done the last load. 324lbs from 3 production hives, leaving one full super on each of the 4 nationals for winter feed. Mead at 5lbs per gallon is going down very well indeed!
